Exodus 3:4

When the Lord saw that he went to look, God called to him from the bush: "Moses! Moses!"
He answered, "Here I am."
[The Hebrew word for bush is seneh, similar to Sinai. The word is used only here and in Deut. 33:16. The exact species of the bush is not known, but the word describes a bush with thorns. Presumably, it is a small acacia tree, the same type of wood that Moses is later instructed to use as material for the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, and the table of showbread, see Ex. 25:10, 23; 26:15. Thorns are associated with humanity and the curse, see Gen. 3:18, but throughout history, God reverses that curse. Moses sees God take up residence in an inconspicuous thorn bush and later manifest his presence in the ark of the covenant made of acacia wood. The finale occurs when Jesus, crowned with a crown of thorns, bears the sins of the world on the cross.]
